A sign was attached to the glass of a window covered with a mural. The sign read:

The mural was painted on the windows below a sign that read, "Tycoon Kitchen Coming Soon!" The mural showed binary bits floating over the San Francisco Bay Bridge, and into the head of a person shown in silhouette.

A closer view of the binary bits flowing into (or perhaps out of) a head shown in silhouette.

A closer view of the San Francisco Bay Bridge with the binary bits floating over it. We leave it to the reader to figure out if the binary bits actually spell an ASCII message.

An even closer view of the binary bits over the San Francisco Bay Bridge. This images is almost close enough to make out the brush strokes used to create this mural.

Even Closer Face

An even closer view of the face. The binary bits inside the head resemble carbonation behind the jaw, rather than bits. Perhaps the binary message (once decoded) will be a word describing the taste of food.
